Colorful November

Well, it's been another busy couple of weeks! I finished my shabby-chic quilt, gifted to my mother's sister who just turned 80. I bought several packets of precut triangles when we went to Keepsake Quilting this summer, and added a few more from my stash.

And a niece has just given birth to a baby boy: hooray, an excuse to finally use those Oceanica panels! I found this blue bubbly batik in my LQS and practically swooned; I'm so glad it came out as I'd imagined!

You've seen this before: every year I go to Gozzi's and take the same photos! Here's my favorite colored turkey from the farm this year:

And a group shot!

Some folks have a good steady hand, others do not. I always start with grand intentions - in this case Hungry Happenings' adorable pie turkey - and end up feeling like I have the artistic ability of a third grader. Oh well, it tasted good!
